Seated DY Row - Plate Loaded Machine [Solaris Series]

Seated DY Row

Plate-Loaded Commercial Gym Equipment

The Solaris Seated DY Row is a plate-loaded back machine designed to maximise lat, rhomboid, rear delt, and trap engagement. Inspired by legendary bodybuilder Dorian Yates, this machine focuses on building a thick, powerful back.

Featuring a chest-supported design and angled pulling motion, the Solaris DY Row minimises lower back strain while promoting strict form and full range of motion. Its ergonomic handles and Olympic plate-loaded system allow users to train heavy with control.

💪 Combine with the Solaris ISO Lateral Row for a complete back training setup.

What is a DY Row?

The DY Row is a classic rowing movement named after Dorian Yates, known for developing one of the most impressive backs in bodybuilding history. This exercise uses a lower pulling angle to target the lats and mid-back more effectively than standard rows.

The Solaris Seated DY Row machine replicates this movement perfectly while providing support and stability for heavier, safer lifts.
